NC Check-In #2
The second round of ELA and Math Check-Ins are on Tuesday and Wednesday. Check-Ins give us valuable information on how our students are progressing. Please remind your student to charge their computers overnight!
Fun ways to review and practice for the Math NC Check In?
- Gimkit activities are posted on each grade level's Google Classroom Discovery Page.
- Each question is directly related to specific assessed common core standards.
- Students gain mastery and competition points for each correct answer and complete Gimkit.
- Parents can support students by participating in the game along with their student as a "learner." After solving problems independently, students can explain concepts to their parents.
